SENSATION is the band title and the music project proposed by the Malaysian Chinese singer and songwriter Gary Chaw with his teacher and the Taiwanese music producer Michael Tu in 2011. As the vocal of the band, he collaborates and performs with the members from MUSA's - with the band-leading pianist Martin "Musa" Musaubach and bassist Lautaro "LuKa" Bellucca from Argentina; and drummer/ percussionist Adriano "Gaofei" Moreira from Brazil.
Guitarist Fabio Moreira, from Brazil, joined in Project 2 started in May 2013. Danny Deysher from the USA teamed up as the quintet member in Aug 2013 as trumpeter. Guitarist Liu Li-Min "Niu-Niu" from Beijing was officially introduced as new SENSATION member in Gary Chaw Sensationally Live Tour Macau 2013.
In 2011, Michael Tu introduced the members from MUSA's Trio - Musa, LuKa and Gaofei - to Gary. The idea of SENSATION was born after the members had a brief communication in music and live jamming.
Not only as a band or musical group, according to Gary, "Gary Chaw x MUSA's Trio x Michael Tu = SENSATION" is also a new musical concept and label, which he would like to produce as projects.
